Description: The National Football League, despite its massive success and unprecedented earning power, is at its most pivotal moment since the AFL-NFL merger four decades ago. With public awareness of the issues plaguing the NFL--from concussions and CTE to issues of domestic violence, greed, and oversaturation--there is a possibility that football as we know it could vanish in the very near future. Author Mike Freeman has interviewed top NFL athletes, coaches, and executives; his research has taken him to sociologists and economists to paint this complete portrait of the league today. Two Minute Warning is a clarion report on the state of the league and the dangers that stalk it, in which Freeman lays out the steps it can take to move into the future and predicts the ruin that may befall the NFL if it fails to act.--Adapted from book jacket.
